Winding Down the Week

Thursday, September 21, 2023

Nice day at work however yesterday was tough. Minor annoyances yet there were seeming 10 million of them and they all added up. Dale had a pretty rotten day as well. I've been pretty successful limiting my alcohol this month, usually once a week and only on the weekends, but today called for playing my emergency you-need-a-cocktail card. Was very reasonable and had a pre-made/store bought Old Fashioned. Didn't finish so I had a little bit left over for today. 

Lit up in the backyard. 

And finished yesterday's Old Fashioned. 


Listened to an eclectic mix of music. 

And relaxed.

This past weekend was light jacket weather however it has warmed up a bit since then. 

Thank God tomorrow is Friday. Overall good week except for yesterday. Productive yet exhausting. That's teaching for you.

Another Great Day for a Cigar in the Garage

Saturday, February 11, 2023 Another great day for a cigar in the garage.   It's nice to have light after 5 p.m. Had some rum with my cigar; Plantation to be specific.  Listened to Samara Joy. Finished up my cigar as it was getting dimmer.  I went inside for cocktail hour and had a martini. Dale had some wine. And listened to some more Samara Joy. Glad to hear she won a Grammy recently.  Had the junk truck come pick up our living room sofa and chair earlier today. Thankfully we have a couple of other chairs to sit on as the new couch and chair won't be delivered until this Monday.  Nice day.

Snow and Shoveling and a Story

Sunday, March 24, 2024 We're finally getting a little snow in what has been a mostly snow deprived season.                             We're supposed to get a lot and it's a wet and heavy snow so I'm trying to keep up with it. Lit up a Romeo y Julieta and got started.  I asked Bing to write a story about a man smoking a cigar and shoveling snow. This was the result: "As the man shovels the freshly fallen snow, the chill in the air is temperd bby the warmth of the cigar perched between his lips. The taast is rich and full-boddied, a complex blend of earthiness with hints off spice that seems to defy the simplicity of the winter landscape around him. Each draw from the cigar offers a momentary escape, a sensory journey that contrasts the monotonous task of clearing the driveway." "The man finds joy in this juxtaposition: the manual labor of shoveling paired with the indulgent flavor of the cigar. It's a ritual that grounds him, connecting the act of wor
